The influences of the moving conditions both for the Screw type and the Rotary type power tiller on the faculty of straight running on the 90° inclined farm were investigated, and following results were obtained.
(1) Running curve of the Screw type is shown by general formula 10
-2×
y=ax2-bx, and that of the Rotary type is 10
-2×
y=-ax2-bx, where
x: distance of procession (m),
y: distance of descent (m),
a, b: constant.
(2) The faculty of straight running of power tiller advances according to the following conditions:
1) The decrease of running speed in both type.
2) Shallow tillage with the Screw and deep tillage with the Rotary.
3) Compact soil surface with the Screw, and slacked soil surface with the Rotary.
4) The increase of water content of soil in the case of applyng the Screw, and the decrease of that with Rotary.
5) At the high air pressure in the pneumatic tire with both type.
6) The sort of equipped blade or tine, in the following order,
Screw: three winged screw blade>three winged screw blade with dulled edge>two winged screw digger.
Rotary: standard type tine>flat knife tine (short type)>flat knife tine (long type).
7) The decrease of the amount of farm trash twined round the screw and the rotary shaft.
8) The increase of the equipped weight at the head frame of the Screw, and at the rear handle of the Rotary.
9) The most at the deviation angle of tail wheel approximately 15° with the Screw, and 22° with the Rotary.
10) The increase of the distance between both vertical screw shafts (=the breadth of tillage).
